Preservation vs. Replacement

The differences betweenJoint Preservation and Joint Replacement

Welcome to the Joint Preservation Institute of Kansas

We are the only orthopaedic practice in the country that focuses solely on preserving the natural joint. Dr. Brannon developed the joint preservation procedures described on our webpage and this has been his practice focus since 2002, allowing us to provide our patients joint preservation surgery with a level of expertise unavailable at any other orthopaedic practice. At JPIK, we believe that chronic joint pain associated with well-known orthopaedic conditions, in some patients, could be the earliest sign of arthritis. Therefore, a comprehensive treatment plan is required when preserving the joint to ensure pain relief and return of function. We encourage patients to address their joint pain early and to avoid waiting until a replacement, partial or total, is the only option.
